You just keep thinking that as our sun consumes its fuel, turns into a red dwarf, and every living thing on earth dies. Or some meteor or comet falls from the skies and wipes us all out in a flash.
Or fast forward a few thousand billion more years as the entire universe collapses back in on itself and all life
EVERYWHERE is totally annihilated in the creation of a new singularity. Or even worse, if the universe endlessly expands until the stars all blink out, one by one, leaving a massive dark empty expanse of lifeless nothing.
Our future is 1000000000000x more "bleak" than most care to realize. All life in this universe is going to die, we are all doomed, nothing we do will ever change that fact.
Our own doom is simply inescapable. It is therefore impossible for us to 'matter' in any way. I lead a good life, but it's really because i don't want to go to prison. Not because i care about some afterlife or some fantastical concept such as karma. My morality is an entirely practical consideration.
